Introduction


Cam002-1.png
What does the fox say? You'll probably never know, but at least we can see what that pesky fox is up to with this Raspberry Pi Night Vision Camera!

Our Raspberry Pi Night Vision Camera uses the same OV5647 as the standard Raspberry Pi camera, and is therefore able to deliver a crystal clear 5MP resolution image, or 1080p HD video recording at 30fps! It features two high intensity Infrared LED spotlights for night time recording! The IR LEDs are powered directly from the CSI port, and are capable of lighting an area at a distance of 1m to 2m. The camera also features an adjustable 3.6mm focal length lens and a 60 degree viewing angle.

Features

  • Compatible with all revisions of the Raspberry Pi
  • 5 Megapixel OV5647 Camera
  • 2 x 3W high-power 850 infrared LEDs:
  •       Onboard photoresistor to detect ambient light
          Onboard adjustable resistor, for controlling the ambient light threshold of toggling the infrared LED
    
  • Camera specifications
  •       Sensors: 0v5647
          Static Image: 5 megapixels
          Aperture (F): 1.8
          Focal Length: 3.6MM (adjustable)
          Diagonal: 60 degree
          Sensor Resolution: 1080p
    
  • Dimension: 25mm x 24mm
  • 4 screw holes
  •       Used for both attachment and 3.3V power supply
          Supports up to 2 infrared LEDs
    

Preparation

Product List

  • 1 x Raspberry Pi Camera Board
  • 2 x Infrared LED Board
  • 1 x 50cm FFC Cable for Raspberry Pi 4B/3/2/1B+
  • 1 x Small Screwdriver
  • Mounting screws

Required Preparation

  • Raspberry Pi 2B/3A+/3B/3B+/4B/zero/zero w
  • Raspberry Pi power adaptor
  • Network Cable (it's for RPi system installation and you can ignore it if you have finished.)
  • Card Reader: (it's for RPi system installation and you can ignore it if you have finished.)
  • SD card (a recommended 8g and higher one) (it's for RPi system installation and you can ignore it if you have finished.)


Hardware Operation

  • Insert 4 screws into the 4 holes of camera, place the module as shown and assign the holes of the 2 night visual lights with the 4 screws to stack those parts on the camera plate.

  • Put 4 nuts in the correct position and screw them up.
  • Cam002-3.png

  • Get the other side of the pin header connected with ports of RPi camera. To do this, you need first to pull up the black switch near the slot, and then to insert the FFC in the slot with the blue side facing the RPi USB port.

Software Operation

Step1: Download RPi system
1. Click in to access the Raspberry Pi official website https://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads/,and then select to download the image you need according to your compute types (windows/MAC/Ubuntu).
2. After downloading, click to start the installation of imager.exe. The RPi Imager page appears when the installation is done. You need to click CHOOSE OS then on the new page,select the first one.
